The better job begins with how much would either school pay for a top-notch head coach. However, the USC or LSU deal maker or breaker may not rest solely on the head coach’s salary, but which university is willing to support a head coach’s request administratively and financially for such things as elite salaries to secure a superior coaching staff. As they say, you get what you pay for.
